Structured Flexibility
The freedom to work within well-defined boundaries
Learn moreAt UCT Online High School, we know that no two learners are the same. We provide the structure that allows our learners to excel according to their own strengths and capabilities. No learner should ever be bored (because spending hours sitting in a class that you’ve already mastered is as pointless as a broken pencil) and no learner should ever get left behind.
Cycle Tests and Exam blocks are fixed throughout the year, with learners having an early and late opportunity to write their exams. Our expert team of Support Coaches check-in with learners daily to ensure that they are working through their modules at the required pace to meet their deadlines and exam targets.

If a learner misses too many building blocks, their whole knowledge structure can become unstable.
Every learner is given the opportunity to master each module before moving on to the next. Where learners have not mastered their weekly content, they are placed in specialised remediation programs and boot camps to ensure that they do not progress with substantial gaps in their learning, which is imperative for success in subjects like Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. whole knowledge structure can become unstable.
Every learner will be allowed to master each concept before moving on to the next. This is called mastery-based progression, and it ensures that learners do not progress with gaps in their learning (which is imperative for success in subjects like Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths). Where gaps exist, our teachers use data to determine precisely when to jump in and assist, so that no learner gets left behind.
